Using laser driven plasma wakefield accelerators, the synchronization between electron bunch and the ultrashort laser is crucial to obtain an stable acceleration. In order to minimize the electron bunch arrival-time jitter, the development of a new shot to shot feedback system with a time resolution of less than §I{1}{\femto\second} is planned. As a first step, stable Terahertz (THz) pulses should be performed by optical rectification of high energy femtosecond laser pulses in a nonlinear crystal. It is planed that the generated THz pulses will energy modulate the electron bunches shot to shot before the plasma to achieve the time resolution of 1fs. The selection of the nonlinear material is a critical aspect for the development of laser driven THz sources. In this contribution we investigate systematically the influence of the optical properties, and in particular adsorption coeffient, of lithium niobate crystal on the conversion efficiency of the generation of THz pulses.
